About Me

Hi! My name is Qadoshyah and I'm the oldest of 11 kids. I live on a ranch in the beautiful country of Northeastern Oklahoma with my family. We are a large household with so many kids that we have various projects going on: We raise goats, pigs, sheep, and rabbits (I raise the rabbits - cute little mini lops) on our 44 acre ranch. Our ranch is also home to bullmastiffs, chickens, guinea hens, ducks, llamas, a donkey, a bottle calf, and several ranch dogs and livestock guardian dogs. The youngest two kids are boy/girl twins born in Feb. '05. The boy happens to have Down syndrome. He is such a blessing to our family :)! Our whole family is also gluten-free, which adds another interesting aspect to our large, active family. We also cook dairy-free & corn-free due to allergies a few kids have. Some of the family is also on the GAPS diet to restore gut health.

The expense of the many supplements and drugs which people have their child with Down syndrome on, comes up often. Yes, it's not cheap to take Longvida or Nutrivene, or the many other supplements someone may have their child take.

But, it's very worth it!

It's not common for insurances to not be willing to cover Nutrivene or any other supplement. Nutrivene seems to come up the most often with the question "can this be covered by insurance?"

There have been some families who have been able to get their insurance to cover it. I'm not sure how they were able to, but there are a few options that you could try:

-Have your doctor write a prescription for Nutrivene. A prescription is not necessary for your child to take Nutrivene, but this may be one way your doctor could get it covered.

-You could try submitting it to an insurance as a "therapy." Because, it is technically "nutritional therapy."

-In some cases, you may be able to submit it to medicare or your child's insurance as another sort of therapy, depending on how it has helped your child.

We have not tried to get it covered by insurance, since it seems like it would be a battle to try to have that done. We've been buying Nutrivene-D for almost 7 years now and God continues to provide!

If anyone has anymore information on how to get insurance or medicare to cover your child's nutritional supplementation, I'd be interested to hear it!
